Ingredients
-
1 small crown prince squash, skin and seeds removed then chopped into 1 inch cubes
-
6 cloves of garlic, skin on
-
1 small handful fresh sage
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
1 tsp nutmeg
-
1 tsp fennel seeds
-
100 ml double cream

Method
1
Preheat the oven to 170°C fan.
2
Add the squash to a large oven tray, drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil, and then add the garlic cloves, sage, and spices. Season with salt and pepper then toss everything together.
3
Place into the oven and roast for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
4
Once the squash has had half an hour, place a large pan of well salted water on to boil for the pasta.
5
Once boiling, add the Gigli and cook for 7 minutes until al-dente.
6
Remove the squash after 40 minutes and squeeze out the flesh from the cooked garlic and discard the skins.
7
Tip the contents of the tray into a food processor or blender. Add the cream then blend until completely smooth. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
8
Preheat the grill to high.
9
Drain the pasta once cooked, reserving some pasta water. Add the drained pasta to the sauce along with a big splash of pasta water. Stir together then pour into a tray or oven proof dish.
10
Place under the grill for 4-5 minutes until bubbling and golden brown around the edges.
11
Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
